Is the title sarcasm... because after listening 5 minutes to him I feel dumber than I was before.

For arguing with you TDS fools?


What makes you think that I have TDS? And don’t be coy, you know exactly why I asked if you were retarded. What an asinine statement you made.

Aren’t bombing campaigns part of a war?

One thing he speculates is that Iran MIGHT destroy desalination water plants, which will not only destroy the ability for fresh drinking water, but also prevent the fresh water needed for oil and gas production


I assume this means of their neighboring countries? Not their own?

And Iran/the good Dr/ you thinks this will have what short and long term effect relative to its neighbors?

You call a guy retarded and expect him to engage you?

I didn’t call him retarded. I asked him if he was retarded. He made a reatrded statement, so I wanted to understand where it was coming from.

I've been in a real war and actually had to fire my rifle. I saw a real war. I'm not sure a one-sided bombing qualifies.

Why didn't California do this a long time ago when Lake Meade started to fail to supply enough water?

The video is 1 hour and 2 minutes long I’m sorry but you may be that interested in him I am not

You chose to point out one of his positions specifically. So I wanted to know your thoughts and opinions on it. I assumed that’s why you’re here.

It seems odd to me that Iran thinks destroying its neighbors sources of water will “ help” their cause. Short or long term. You seem to feel different ??

Please expand.

All the gulf states have desal plants. I believe he’s referring to the other countries.

So you put together your own thought on it. Good.


Dr Mearsheimer thinks it could happen. He's a smart guy, and there's basically two levels of thought on the war at this point. Those who say America is kicking arse, and that's just the MSM and Trump and Netanyahu

The most believable people online aren't swallowing that mess. We shoot missiles from boats. Iran shoots them from land. Pulling boats into straights is almost a suicide mission.


We need to figure a way out of this mess, and Dr Mearsheimer is trying to expand ideas on that.

yes I did. And I notice you still haven't.......

thanks for posting somehting anyone could find themselves if they had any interest.

I'll remember for the future you're a guy who doesn't think or opine for yourself just tells us what "Dr whoever" thinks, then tells us it's "fantastic" but isn't actually prepared to discuss or debate it.
